| Obverse description | At center, a stylized female effigy — an allegorical representation of Europa — rendered in high relief against a dark mirror field, her flowing hair adorned with stars and intertwined with wave-like ornamental motifs. To the left, the monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in bold incuse lettering alongside the euro symbol above it. The denomination '6,55957 FRANCS' and the date '1999' are inscribed in the left field. The word 'EUROPA' runs vertically at upper center, while the outer border carries the names of all eleven founding eurozone member states separated by dashes. |

| Reverse description | The reverse celebrates Romanesque art of the 10th to 12th centuries, presenting a richly detailed composition against a dark mirror field. At center-left, a mandorla (vesica piscis) frames a majestic figure of Christ in Majesty, rendered in the style of a Romanesque tympanum relief, with outstretched arms and flowing drapery. Flanking the mandorla are carved stone columns with elaborately sculpted Romanesque capitals. To the right, an architectural facade of a Romanesque church — featuring rounded arches, arcaded galleries, and decorative stonework — is depicted in careful detail. At upper center, a relief outline map of Europe appears, and the legend 'ART ROMAN' arcs across the top of the field, while 'Xe - XIIe SIECLE' is inscribed along the lower border. |
